Question

I had $80.45 in my bank account on Monday. I deposited $20.50 on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I then withdrew $37.25 on Friday. How much money is in my account for the weekend? $

Answer 1

$104.70.

Explanation:

If you started with $80.45, and then deposited $20.50 3 times, one for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, that would get you up to $141.95. Then, if you withdrew $37.25 on Friday, that leaves you with $104.70 for the weekend.

Answer 2

$104.70

Explanation:

The equation would be set up like this: 80.45 + 20.50(3) - 37.25. You started off with $80.45 in your bank account and deposited, or added, $20.50 every day on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. That would mean you added $20.50 three times. Adding $80.45 + $20.50 + $20.50 + $20.50, simplified to $80.45 + $20.50(3) would get you $141.95 in total. Then, on Friday, you withdraw $37.25, getting the equation $141.95 - $37.25, leaving $104.70 for the weekend.
